Distutils convenience functionality.

Don't use this outside of Twisted.

Maintainer: Christopher Armstrong

Class ConditionalExtension An extension module that will only be compiled if certain conditions are met.
Function setup An alternative to distutils' setup() which is specially designed for Twisted subprojects.
Function get_setup_args Undocumented
Function getVersion Extract the version number for a given project.
Function relativeTo Gets 'relativee' relative to 'basepath'.
Function getDataFiles Get all the data files that should be included in this distutils Project.
Function getExtensions Get all extensions from core and all subprojects.
Function getPackages Get all packages which are under dname. This is necessary for Python 2.2's distutils. Pretty similar arguments to getDataFiles, including 'parent'.
Function getAllScripts Undocumented
Function getScripts Returns a list of scripts for a Twisted subproject; this works in any of an SVN checkout, a project-specific tarball.
Class build_scripts_twisted Renames scripts so they end with '.py' on Windows.
Class install_data_twisted I make sure data files are installed in the package directory.
Class build_ext_twisted Allow subclasses to easily detect and customize Extensions to build at install-time.
Function _filterNames Given a list of file names, return those names that should be copied.
Function _checkCPython Checks if this implementation is CPython.
def setup(**kw): (source)
An alternative to distutils' setup() which is specially designed for Twisted subprojects.

Pass twisted_subproject=projname if you want package and data files to automatically be found for you.

ParametersconditionalExtensionsExtensions to optionally build. (type: list of ConditionalExtension)
def get_setup_args(**kw): (source)
Undocumented
def getVersion(proj, base='twisted'): (source)
Extract the version number for a given project.
Parametersprojthe name of the project. Examples are "core", "conch", "words", "mail".
ReturnsThe version number of the project, as a string like "2.0.0". (type: str)
def _filterNames(names): (source)
Given a list of file names, return those names that should be copied.
def relativeTo(base, relativee): (source)
Gets 'relativee' relative to 'basepath'.

i.e.,

>>> relativeTo('/home/', '/home/radix/')
'radix'
>>> relativeTo('.', '/home/radix/Projects/Twisted') # curdir is /home/radix
'Projects/Twisted'

The 'relativee' must be a child of 'basepath'.

def getDataFiles(dname, ignore=None, parent=None): (source)
Get all the data files that should be included in this distutils Project.

'dname' should be the path to the package that you're distributing.

'ignore' is a list of sub-packages to ignore. This facilitates disparate package hierarchies. That's a fancy way of saying that the 'twisted' package doesn't want to include the 'twisted.conch' package, so it will pass ['conch'] as the value.

'parent' is necessary if you're distributing a subpackage like twisted.conch. 'dname' should point to 'twisted/conch' and 'parent' should point to 'twisted'. This ensures that your data_files are generated correctly, only using relative paths for the first element of the tuple ('twisted/conch/*'). The default 'parent' is the current working directory.

def getExtensions(): (source)
Get all extensions from core and all subprojects.
def getPackages(dname, pkgname=None, results=None, ignore=None, parent=None): (source)
Get all packages which are under dname. This is necessary for Python 2.2's distutils. Pretty similar arguments to getDataFiles, including 'parent'.
def getAllScripts(): (source)
Undocumented
def getScripts(projname, basedir=''): (source)
Returns a list of scripts for a Twisted subproject; this works in any of an SVN checkout, a project-specific tarball.
def _checkCPython(sys=sys, platform=platform): (source)
Checks if this implementation is CPython.

This uses platform.python_implementation.

This takes sys and platform kwargs that by default use the real modules. You shouldn't care about these -- they are for testing purposes only.

ReturnsFalse if the implementation is definitely not CPython, True otherwise.
